Should I be worried

Post by harry » Wed Apr 05, 2006 2:00 pm

When driving at night I get an occassional flicker through the headlight beam under braking. The same was happening when it was snowy up here and the traction control was kicking in at low speeds (crawling) when required?

Any thoughts?

P.S I have been monitoring this over a couple of months and there seems to be no pattern to it at all.

Ah... my battery meter reader thing sits @ 12 (middle position) with keys in ignition b4 I turn her over. Seems alot of life left or do I need to change. It's original battery I think.

i have the same issue as well and it mainly happens under braking.
I dont even have to brake hard and it does it.....

I dont think there is a problem with the car because my last S4 did the same
